The Most Effective Odor Control for Holding Tanks
Boating season is here, and it’s essential to ensure your boat is ready, especially when it comes to maintaining a completely odor-free sanitation system. K.O. (Kills Odors) is the key to achieving this. Despite common beliefs, the real key to odor control isn’t just the right hose. The actual secret lies in understanding and applying proven sewage management principles used in composting and sewage treatment to your boat’s sanitation system. By incorporating these principles, you can achieve a truly odor-free system.
The Science Behind K.O.
Sewage contains both aerobic (oxygen-requiring) and anaerobic (airless environment) bacteria. Only anaerobic bacteria produce foul-smelling gases, while aerobic bacteria break down sewage without generating odor. K.O. works by fostering an environment where aerobic bacteria thrive, overpowering the odor-causing anaerobic bacteria. This results in an odor-free system as long as there is a sufficient supply of air to the tank and aerobic bacteria are resent to aid in the breakdown process.
Bio-Active Treatment
K.O. is a bio-active holding tank treatment that works with the aerobic bacteria naturally found in sewage. It eliminates odor, completely emulsifies solids and paper, and prevents sludge formation. Enzymes and chemical treatments, on the other hand, offer only temporary solutions. Enzymes may provide a brief respite from odor, but it quickly returns. Chemicals mask odor with another odor and kill both anaerobic and beneficial aerobic bacteria, disrupting the system and leading to sludge buildup. Chemicals also pose environmental hazards and are unwelcome in sewage treatment facilities.
Easy and Effective
Using K.O. is simple and ensures long-lasting results. By maintaining the right environment for aerobic bacteria, K.O. not only keeps your holding tank odor-free but also prevents the buildup of sludge, ensuring your system remains efficient and clean. This bio-active approach is environmentally friendly and more effective than traditional chemical treatments.
Perfect Combination with C.P. (Cleans Potties)
For the best results, combine K.O. with C.P. (Cleans Potties). While K.O. handles the odor control in the holding tank, C.P. keeps the toilet bowl and surrounding areas clean and fresh without harming the beneficial bacteria in K.O. This combination ensures a completely odor-free and sanitary boating experience.
As you prepare your boat for the coming months, make sure to choose K.O. for your holding tank treatment. With its bio-active formula and effective odor control, K.O. ensures your boat remains fresh and inviting all season long.
